Recently I’ve been watching Black Mirror all the time and yesterday I saw the second episode of season two. The story is about a couple and the husband is always on social media. The plot is based on the advance of technology in the future, especially when it comes to TVs, phones, apps and social media. One day the husband went out to go to a market or something but never returned, so his wife really missed him. She was then told that there was a new app that, by searching through all of her husband‘s social media posts was able to replicate his online behavior, so the wife could “communicate” with him, even if only on the app. After that she could talk to “him” on the phone and everything he said sounded just as he did before. Then one day this app offers the wife a new technology through which they could make a model of her husband, just like a real person. So she made the order and her new fake husband was delivered directly to her room. The model has the same appearance as her husband, including the skin, hair, and eyes. In the beginning she was totally scared by this model, but after some time she kind of accepted it. But in the end she realized it was just a model, and not her husband and that everything it did was always trying to pretend to be the husband, but wasn’t actually him.
